Guess it can't even get passed the first page without bringing Manning up eh? Ya, this team and last years team have very little in common.

Anyways, this game could be an old fashioned shoot-out. I might have missed something, but I think the pats have lost to the last two rookie QBs they've faced (Wilson and McCoy back in 2010. Again, may have missed one though). So that may bode well for Andrew. BUT, he's been very meh on the road. 2:7 TD:INT ratio on the road this year. Like some other Colts fans have said, it's going to be a good measuring test for Luck and the rest of the Colts team.

If he doesn't throw for at least 350 on this secondary then he's a bust.

Your d is still top 10 for run defense right? Luck is going to have to sling it regardless I guess. Reggie Wayne could be in for a big day unless he's double and triple covered.

I'm actually more scared of Donnie Avery. He had a huge game against the Pats as a rookie in '08, and then tore his ACL against 'em in preseason '10. I'm sure he'll be extra motivated for this game._________________

Yeah, 240 of which came in the fourth quarter, which started with the Colts down by 28. If Luck is down by 28 and the Patriots go into the prevent defense, then Luck can do it too. Otherwise, I doubt it.

We were one Hail Mary away from going to overtime (and likely losing) in that game. I don't care when the yards came - Andrew Luck is better than Orlovsky and if the defense poops itself like it did last year, things won't look pretty for us._________________

The Colts were down 7 with 36 seconds and no TOs left and needing to recover an onside kick. There's less than a 1% chance they win the game from that point, considering the onside kick alone has about a 10% chance of success.

And based on last week's game, I'm guessing we're not going to see the prevent defense again for a while. The coaches would rather see 60 minutes of hard defensive play.

Well admittedly I had forgotten they also needed to recover the onside kick. But still. I agree with mcmurtry, I don't see any reason to think Luck won't put up astronomical numbers._________________

The Patriots "regular" pass defense is every bit as abysmal as last year's "prevent" defense. And the troubling thing is that the Pats have gotten destroyed by really mediocre or downright bad QB's. Luck, while far from a polished star, is much better than most of the QB's the Pats have faced thus far.

The Pats have nothing in the way of a consistent pass rush and their secondary would probably be setting records had they faced more than 1 good QB (Manning). That they're giving up a 97.3 opposing QB rating despite having faced Locker, Kolb, Wilson, Sanchez, Fitzpatrick, Bradford and Flacco is staggering.

If Andrew Luck doesn't come close to (re-)breaking the rookie QB passing mark, it is because the Pats are able to control the clock and keep him off the field. I honestly think he could put up 450 yards on this defense if the Pats offense can't stay on the field. Luckily for New England, the Colts defense is also putrid.
